Idea

The idea developed as a way of supporting the artists during the social distancing regulations. The higher level features were added after a careful consideration of all the team members.

About

With the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemics many artists and art institutions are facing unprecedented difficulties in delivering products to their clients and ensuring continuity of income. At the same time, we sense that there is strong sympathy and a sense of support for the affected artists.

The Artra project aims at bridging the gap between the two groups and offers a platform where art offerings can be purchased by general public in advance. Such an interaction on one hand allows the general public to support artists through the pandemics and on the other hand incentivises artists to devise innovative offerings.

The MVP version of the platform is available at projectartra.eu

Our experience

The learning was an integral part of working on the project and all the team members benefited greatly in terms of gaining valuable team-working experience as well as technical skills both by working on the hackathon as well as receiving valuable guidance from the mentor. Overall we really enjoyed the experience.

Progress

We have obtained expressions of interest from artists in 4 different countries in Europe, confirming the attractiveness of the platform.
